Today I made Gratin Dauphinois, which is one of the traditional French classic dish. I wish I had made three times the recipe. I didn't realize that my guests would like it that much. Needless to say, I was very good!
What is it made of?
Gratin Dauphinois is a simple and decadent potato dish that is rich and creamy.
To make Gratin Dauphinois:
Measure out the 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk into a sauce pot. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to make sure that everything gets mixed together.
Cover the pot and simmer the cream for about 10 minutes.
Peel all the potatoes. Use a knife to slice the potatoes thinly, then add to the pot. I used a mandoline and sliced it directly into the pot.
Stir the potatoes, the cover the pot for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid the potatoes sticking to the pot.
Rub the inside of the baking pan with garlic and butter the pan. Transfer the potatoes in the pan, and dab it with butter. Shred 1/3 cup Gruyere Cheese on top of the potatoes.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil with holes to allow the steam to escape the bake the Gratin Dauphinois.
Bake the Gratin Dauphinois in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes until the cheese turns golden.

I hope to see you again soon!
